This is the upgrade your pulao needs ✌🏼
.
What’s cooking? Pearl Pulao 🧡 Technically Cous Cous is not a grain, it’s a form of pasta  made with semolina and water, shaped into little balls and then toasted. It has a chewy but nutty texture, do give it a try because it tastes amazing 🥰
.
Ingredients 
Oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped or sliced 
1 bay leaf, 1/2 inch cinnamon stick 
1/2 cup chopped onion 
1 1/2 cups pearl cous cous
1/2 cup boiled chickpeas
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup diced tofu or paneer 
2 cups hot boiling water 
Salt, chilli flakes, dried herbs, black and red pepper 
Cilantro, lemon juice and cranberries for garnishing
.
.
Instructions 
In a pan, add oil, once warm, add garlic, bay leaf and cinnamon. Let sizzle until toasty.
.
On medium heat, add onions and saute for 2 minutes until slightly golden, we don’t want to overdo the onions here. Add cous cous and let cook on low medium heat for 6-7 minutes until it started turning brown. Keep stirring in between to ensure evenly cooking. 
.
Add all the veggies and protein along with seasonings and spices. Mix well and add hot boiling water, bring to a rapid boil, turn heat to low and let cook on low for 15 mins or until water dries out. 
.
Finish with chopped cilantro, lemon juice and cranberries!
